All the guys I like on match do not want potential matches to have kids.

I am 31. One child. Ready for dating but so many men do not want to deal with moms. I am quite attractive and athletic. My child is everything to me. Is this a good place for me to look for a relationship?

Sure. The right guy will be open to it. Don't sweat it. There are sooooooo many dudes on those sites, thirsty for female attention. Just keep going.

I think Match is probably as good a place as any. Maybe give eHarmony a try too?

Also I don't know if you mention 'my child is everything to me' types of things in your profile but if you do, you may want to tone them down. First because it's kind of a given and second because a dating profile is not really about that. People who date people with children may already have a concern of not getting enough time, so you don't want to play into it.
I'm sure men will respect your dedication as a Mom but it comes a little later.

Oh no, I just mentioned that I do have a child.

What types of guys are you looking for?
You might need to stay away from never married guys with no children and go for single dads. Most men your age aren't looking for a ready-made family.

Also, how do you know they don't want to deal with moms? Are they telling you this?

because it is less about dating you with a kid than dealing with drama from other men/ex being in your life constantly.

i would not hesitate to date a widow or a widow with a kid but dating regular single moms is like dating 3 people at once (mom, kid, and kid's dad).

I posted that I am interested in men ages 35-45. The profiles I looked at say that they prefer no kids.

My ex is in my child's life. We share custody and on good terms and it is not going to change as my priority is my child's happiness. I would not consider starting something with a man who has thinks like PP and I am sure I will sense that type of mentality right away.

Well, I guess I will just wait and see what happens...

Good luck, OP. Give it time and the right man - who loves you and your kid - will come along. Like a PP said, you might want to look at dating single dads. Never marrieds without kids will just be on a really different plane than you. Again, good luck!

[Anonymous]

Look at more profiles. Surely some guys have kids themselves and are open to dating a woman with a child(ren).

Obviously the guys that you are truly interested in would be o.k. with you having a child. Keep lookin.

Btw ignore the troll!

+1 to the single dads. Many of them will be in the same place as you (still want to maintain relationship with kid's mom, etc) so they can understand your feelings better.
